Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Heidi MacDonald explores recent high-profile expressions of dissatisfaction in the mainstream comics creative community. There's an interesting degree of pushback in the comments thread.

* Brad Ricca looks at the proto-Lois Lanes.

* Johanna Draper Carlson on Blue Morning. Grant Goggans on even more Legion Of Super-Heroes comics. J. Caleb Mozzocco on various comic-shop comics. Kelly Thompson on Wolverine And The X-Men #30.

* this is a great quote from Jeff Smith. We sometimes forget how early we are in books doing well in the bookstore and library markets.

* Brett White muses on yet another character death in the pages of a superhero comic. I don't know, I just figure there are good stories and there are bad stories, and that a lot of the character-death stories are really bad stories.

* not comics: what a weird thing to emphasize. And fuck that: Superman is a comic book character, a great one, and that is his primary value. He was never more important to pop culture than when his comic book was the point man for everything Superman.

* the writer Rob Clough suggests some projects in which he had a hand.

* not comics: I enjoy comics t-shirts, and the ones they do for cons like these for HeroesCon are pretty great.

* Chris Marshall talks to Kirk Taylor. The TMSIDK crew talks to Robin Bougie, Katie Skelly and Jason Schell, Jeff Smith (it's where the quote linked-to above came from). Ed Piskor and Jasen Lex talk to Jim Rugg. Team Inkstuds talks to BlexBolex.

* finally, Farel Dalrymple draws The Punisher.
